Droid Antivirus protections

Hello, I am thinking about downloading and using a app called Mikandi. This is basically an app store. This is not in the marketplace. So Mikandi and any apps in Mikandi are also not in the store. How do i know those apps are safe? I have antivirus free as well as Lookout. Will those search, scan and check non markey apps like Mikandi and apps that may be downloaded through Mikandi?

You don't, they are probably stolen/pirated apps, and you don't need any antivirus programs. Android is Linux and Linux is, for all intents and purposes, virus-free. Heck, you'd have to be rooted in order for a virus to do any real damage anyway.

Ditch the AV. It's a resource hog and totally unneeded.

Ok thank you for the comments. Although it has found something once. Have you used Mikandi?

i would say it's pretty legit. i've been running it for awhile now, and my cousin who told me about it has had it since he got his droid 2. doesn't drain to much battery, and the location service is pretty sweet. you can sound an alarm (which if you test it...have a pillow near by to cover the phone...its loud and obnoxious) and everything else from their website.
